Nothing special at all mate - it’s grossly overated - if I was you I’d grab the earn like pronto with both hands and reinvest in something you really like - just sayin’.
This Ultra Premium Cabernet Shiraz 2020 is a stunning blend that showcases the best of two iconic varietals in Australian winemaking. This wine features a bold and complex character, driven by a blend of dark fruit flavours from Cabernet Sauvignon and the rich, spiced notes of Shiraz. The...

Nice Ken review,
The wine is predominantly Coonawarra Cabernet, supported with a little McLaren Vale Shiraz. It is undoubtedly a wine built for the long haul, needing time to reveal all its glories. This is a cracker! Not under screwcap, it is an opaque maroon. The aromas give us notes of mocha, chocolate, nutmeg, blackberries, spicy characters, vanilla and licorice. Concentrated, deep and dark, the palate sees the emergence of soy and coffee grinds with a touch of cigar box. Oak is integrating well. Finely balanced, the power is to the fore, but lurking behind that power is some pleasing elegance. Beautifully crafted, this has a lingering finish. Enjoy it for twelve to twenty years.
This appears to be Best's Bin No. 1 Shiraz 2020. It is a 12 pack (too many for me), but some might be interested in it for $15.56 a bottle (after cashback via Shopback).

Please advise them their shipping fees are too high, especially since they take a while to dispatch and seem to use Aus Post (in my experience). They've lost hundreds of dollars of orders from me alone because of it. They sell high enough bulk to get generous discounts from Aus Post and couriers, and could explore shipping caps, free shipping at a threshold, or tapered pricing (i.e. $x for 1st case, $y for 2nd case, and so on). UPDATE: I got it wrong. See below.

I don't think it is that bad as it seems to be a flat rate per order.
I ordered almost 2 dozens on Thursday and was charged $18.50 postage. I also reached out to them and asked to combine with some auction items I either won or wanted to return and they combined it all under the single fee.
So it just needs to be used smarter, ie larger one off orders, combining orders and perhaps combining with like-minded friends to minimise the fee.
By way of comparison - I recently received 6 Wendouree sixers and was charged (from memory) $16 per box ie $96 all up. Rockford has similar pricing.
